The Raspberry Pi Web Server Speed Test - Jeremy's .NET Blog. So last week I showed how to set up a web server on the Raspberry Pi.
Many people pointed out that Apache probably isn’t the best option for the Pi. So I decided to do a little speed test to see which server would be the fastest if you were going to build a Raspberry Pi Webserver. This is a good way to compare how each server will run on low powered hardware. The Test For the test environment, I setup my Pi on a private network connected only to laptop through a router. Another thing to note: these are all default installations so we’re testing it right out of the box. For the test I used Siege 2.68 as it is a great tool for this type of testing. Test Content For this experiment I really wanted to swamp this thing.

Building a Riak Cluster on Raspberry Pi. November 1, 2012 Erlang was created to run on a variety of systems.
Riak (written in Erlang) was created as a fault-tolerant distributed datastore, able to run on commodity hardware. Raspberry Pi is the culmination of these two points, brought to an absurd level: an embedded(ish), very inexpensive ($35) commodity computer. I thought it might be fun to create a Riak cluster on a set of Pis I had lying around. Here’s what you’ll need to build your own RiakPi cluster: N Raspberry PisN SD card, 4+ GBN CAT5 cablesN 5V, 700-1200 mA micro USB powersource (the kind used by many cellphones)1 really cheap, non-fancy USB keyboard1 monitor/tv with HDMI input1 HDMI cable1 Hub, Switch, or Router1 Laptop/Desktop with an SD card slot If you only have 1 Pi, you can still install Riak, but clearly not create a cluster. It may seem like a lot of parts.
Installing Riak on Raspberry Pi Step 1: Install Raspbi Unzip the download, and you should have an img file. I have a Mac running OSX, so I did the following. 1.
